Today, we know that the only real cure for a hangover is to avoid drinking too much. However, it’s a good bet that buchu leaf powder, also called barsoma betulina, has been historically used for bladder complaints for centuries among the Zulus and other indigenous peoples of present-day South Africa.
The cut barosama betulina leaves can be brewed in tea and drunk. The Buchu plant itself is a small flowering shrub, not an “herb” in the technical sense.
